"The goats that I am currently rearing in my compound has brought the biggest difference in my life. This is because I did not have any livestock in my homestead that I can depend on just in case of any emergency. These are also my assets for the future of my children's education. Secondly, having have paid fees for my children has also changed my daily life. If it was not for GD I would have struggled a lot in raising the fees."

"My life is different now in such a way that I still find it like a dream. This is because the transfers enabled me to buy some dairy cows which are now my dependable assets. I never thought of having them anytime soon because they are expensive. I managed to pay school fees in advance fo, my children. I was so stuck and I had no idea where I will get the required fees for the next term. This is now assuring me of their bright future because they are now studying without any difficulties. I am so thankful to GiveDirectly for the financial support they offered me."

"My new goal is to start a more viable business. Having a background in the hospitality department I stand a better chance of managing this business hence becoming self-employed."

"My new goal is to save money so that I can buy another motorcycle that I will assign to another youth for the purpose of not only generating income for him/her but also more income for me. By so doing, I shall have created employment hence giving back to the community."

"Hopefully, I plan to start a business. After full recovery from the accident that I got while traveling back to the city, I want to make something meaningful for myself for I would not wish to continue depending on well-wishers for handouts."

"My life is currently different in that I have been able to build a decent house to live in. Had it not been the financial support from GiveDirectly, I would still be living in my old hut since I lacked the money to facilitate this. I am peacefully enjoying a good shelter unlike before when I was living in my hut. I have also been able to clear school fees for my children. They are now comfortably in school going on with their studies."

"My life is currently different because I have been able to build a decent and iron-roofed house to live with my family. I couldn't afford to buy the materials at my own cost and for sure had it not been the financial support from GiveDirectly, I would still be living in my old grass-thatched hut."

"I received the transfer at a time when drought had struck us making some of the basic needs like water and food really expensive to acquire. I am grateful to GiveDirectcly because it's through their transfer that sustained us during that period. I was able to buy foodstuffs for my family and also to pay some household expenses. In addition to this, my life is also currently different in that I have now acquired a pair of oxen that is aiding me in my farming. I do not hire from anyone like I used to do in the previous planting seasons."

"I am grateful to GiveDirectly for helping us with the money. My husband was ill and his condition was worsening daily. We couldn't afford to take him to a good hospital due to lack of money. However, through this transfer, he was treated and now recovering well. Had it not been this money, then I would have sold what I had to cater for his medication. I also have some livestock which includes a bull and seven goats. These are assets that I can now rely on in case of a financial need. I wouldn't have managed to buy any of these at own cost were it not the financial help from GiveDirectly."

"My life is currently different from how it was before because I now have a stable source of income. This is because I now practice farming unlike before when I used to depend on garbage collection. Due to this, I have been able to pay my house rent on time and cater for my daily basic needs."
